Fraud is fraud! And stealing. Didn't California already say it's ok to steal from stores up to a certain amount, several years ago? No, I hadn't seen it before; thanks. In the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term, the State Department revoked the visas of 4,000 foreign students, 90 percent of whom have criminal records, the State Department confirmed to Fox News Digital. “Our visa system has lacked oversight and accountability,” a senior State Department official told the outlet. “Over the past 100 days, the Trump Administration has worked to fix a broken system.” “We established an action working group, which has resulted in thousands of visas being revoked because these individuals broke our laws. This is what effective governance looks like,” the source said. According to the New York Post, which first reported on the number, some serious crimes included arson, robbery, domestic abuse, wildlife and human trafficking, child endangerment, and driving under the influence. More than 500 students whose visas were revoked have criminal assault records, the Post reported. “They came, and they were breaking the law with no consequences,” a source told the Post. “We set up a special action team to handle this.” More recently, hundreds of visas have been revoked for international students tied to anti-Israel protests, according to the department. “If you come into the United States as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don’t want it,” Rubio previously said, specifically citing international students who come to the U.S. and “vandalize a library” or “take over a campus.” “No one’s entitled to a student visa. The press covers student visas like there’s some sort of birthright..." Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) reintroduced legislation Monday during the current 119th U.S. Congress, which would ban members of Congress and their family members from being able to trade or hold stocks. The bill, titled the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act, would “amend chapter 131 of title 5, United States Code, to prohibit transactions involving certain financial instruments by Members of Congress,” according to the bill’s text. The PELOSI Act, which references Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), was also reintroduced by Hawley in January 2023. “Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve—not day trading at the expense of their constituents,” Hawley said in a statement. “Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public. It’s time we ban all members of Congress from trading and holding stocks and restore Americans’ trust in our nation’s legislative body.”
